This collection written over a twenty year period evokes a
deep sense of
place.

From an Oklahoma childhood to Kathmandu cafés, Rafaela
writes
as physician, wife, traveler and passionate Jew. "Rafaela's poetry
goes
to the edge, but never jumps off. Therefore, this work is light and
easy to
read, but thoughtful and sensual enough to never forget." Anne
Marie
Mackler.
